"Fabulously floral and boasting fantastic flavour concentration of bright berries, lifted herbs and spice notes, with a soft saline ribbon running through it and a deep, chalky complexity to finish. Each sip has excellent tension and tautness. Superb!" Dish Magazine 2023

"Instantly engaging, this pale pink rosé was made from pinot noir grown in the Southern Valleys.  Refined, it is vibrantly fruity, with gentle strawberry and spice flavours, hints of peach and watermelon, fresh acidity and a dry finish.  Fine value" Winestate Australia 2023

Pale rose gold in the glass. Refined aromas of ripe strawberries and cream on the nose. This Rosé is crisp and full with fresh juicy layers of red berries, white peach and a warm cinnamon spice. The 2022 Delta Rosé has a fresh and fruity dry palate full of rich berries and subtle spices.

Our Pinot Noir grapes used to make this elegant Mystery Rosé were selected predominantly from vineyards in Marlborough region. The 2022 vintage was blessed with an abundance of sunshine and warmth throughout the growing season with minimal rainfall. This led to lower crop levels with increased intensity of fruit characteristics within the grapes. Ripening steadily throughout the growing period, we kept a close eye on the grapes before selecting the optimum moment of ripeness for harvesting.

The fruit was machine harvested during a cool night at peak maturity. Once received at the winery, the grapes were carefully pressed and fermented in a stainless steel tank at a controlled warm temperature to retain fresh and fruity characterisitcs. After fermentation, a small portion of Malbec was blended with the Pinot Noir to intensify the colour and flavour complexity. Once carefully blended, the wine was fined and prepared for bottling.

Food Pairing: An ideal match with spicy Thai red curry, or for sipping in the sunshine with friends and family.
